章 716: Chapter 692 Theory and Reality

On June 1st, the Artemis V mission was successfully launched after a one-month delay.

The delay was mainly due to issues with the service module, as the European Space Agency was preoccupied with its own space programs and lacked spare capacity, and although NACA had identified Grumman Corporation as a replacement early on, there was still some procrastination.

Grumman Corporation, running at full capacity, fully supplied the consumption for the upper Centaurus project; NACA was planning to squeeze out four Moon landing missions in the second half of the year.

Besides constructing its own "Columbus" camp, the many Moon missions also aimed to coordinate with the subsequent plans of the "Skylight" series.
